🔨 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Lift the wiper arm

• Lift the driver-side wiper arm away from the windshield until it stays in the raised position.
• Use your hand only. Keep a firm grip so the arm does not snap back.
• Place a towel on the glass for extra protection.

Step 2: Remove the old blade

• Look at the connector where the blade meets the arm.
• Press the release tab and slide the old blade down and off the arm.
• If it feels stuck, gently wiggle the blade while holding the arm steady.

Step 3: Install the new blade

• Slide the new 22" blade onto the arm until it clicks into place.
• Pull lightly on the blade to make sure it is locked on.
• Use your hand only. No special tool is needed.

Step 4: Repeat on the passenger side

• Repeat the same removal and installation steps for the passenger-side wiper blade.
• Make sure the passenger blade is also fully locked before lowering the arm.

Step 5: Lower the wiper arms carefully

• Slowly lower both arms back onto the windshield.
• Do not let them drop onto the glass.
• Lower them one at a time.
